Pole Housing and Retention Sockets

Pole housing units allow for the completion of groundworks before installation of streetlamps, traffic signals or signposts. Pole retention sockets come into their own following a collision, making for quick reinstallation of a new pole or post. Available with various options for duct entry such as where working at depth or with armoured cable. Developed with a retention mechanism for the permanent pole foundation, its isometric clamping action applies gripping pressure evenly, right around the pole.

As with the chambers, the Pole Box maintains its market position as a well tried and tested unit with specific design requirements to satisfy the highway directive for cover clearance over ducting laid in footpaths. The nature of the product and the installation process allows civil engineering work to be carried out ahead of pole installation. Sizes range from 290x275x640 to 450x450x500 to cover the majority of requirements and to ensure compatibility with the Centurion Access System.

Quick Fit Retention Socket – This Retention Socket is manufactured from a mixture of thermoset moulding compounds allowing the unit to be robust yet lightweight.
